Step by Step

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.

Hebrews 11:1

Many times, when things didn’t go my way, I felt frustrated. My mind kept dwelling on these issues and how I could have changed my reactions, responses and decisions for a better outcome. However, eventually the result would be a good one making me realise that although things seemed negative at that time, it was for the best. God guides me in the right way even if I cannot see the whole picture.

My experience with God shows that taking life forward one step at a time, trusting God to hold me and carry me over any broken step is the right thing to do. Whatever the state of the staircase, God will take us to the top to land at the place ultimately planned and prepared for us by Him. This applies to our worldly life here as well as to our spiritual destination. He will be there guiding us step by step.

Moving forward in life with this faith can give us a sense of peace and well-being.

Saying this, it does not mean that I am able to keep my mind from worrying. I do worry, but then God’s small, inner voice reminds me to leave it to Him. When I entrust it to Him, I am able to get through without over stressing.

Thank You Lord Jesus for guiding me throughout my life. I am sorry for the many instances when I worry unnecessarily. Thank you for getting me back on track each time. I don’t know how I could have gone through life without you. Thank you so much Lord Jesus.
